"I was programmed to handle hard situations, Sir."
"Yes, but he was quite close to you, wasn't he? Did he say anything? Every piece of information he possessed could help us win the war. Isn't that what you want?" The Chancellor watches me closely...

"Tup gave you his camera?" Kix tilts it in his hands. I sit on the table in the cafeteria with my feet resting on the bench beside him.
"Rex passed it onto me," I explain. Kix hands it back to me and I hop off the table, aiming it at the rest of Rex's squadron sitting around him.
"What are you doing?" Jesse asks, lunch fork in hand.
"Video taping. What's the funniest thing you've ever seen Rex do?"
"Wait a minute." Rex reaches out to block the camera. I step to the side, smiling.
"Definitely the time he walked into a pipe," Kix cuts in.
I laugh at the thought of it, spotting Sinker a few tables away. I wave him over to us. "What's the funniest thing you've seen Wolffe do?"
He thinks for a moment, not bothering to question the camera or my motives. "There was the time someone painted on the back of his armor and he didn't notice for a week. Everyone got in trouble because he couldn't figure out who did it."
"Remember the time the 212th had to babysit?" Boost says, coming up beside him. The 501st bursts into immediate laughter. I look between them, curious.
"They had to watch the padawans," Sinker explains, noticing my look. "And lost them all in moments. They were running around the temple trying to find them before General Kenobi got back."
Cody comes over now, with Wooley and Trapper at his side, arms crossed. "I wasn't the one sneaking twelve Loth cats through the jedi temple."
"We can babysit feral Loth cats better than you can keep track of trained Padawans," Rex retorts.
"At least we didn't walk straight into a pipe," Wooley says.
"Did everyone see that?!" Rex stares at us. I laugh, camera shaking in my hands. Sinker nudges me and we straighten as Wolffe comes over.
"General Plo needs us, it's an emergency," he says. I turn the camera off and leave it with Rex, whistling for Peg to follow me and the rest of the Wolfpack to where General Plo waits for us in the landing bay. General Kenobi stands beside him.
"What's going on, Sir?" I ask, slowing to a stop beside Wolffe. Sinker, Boost and Comet haul supplies onto the ship while Warthog gets it ready to fly.
"We've received an urgent cry for help from a Jedi on Cycis. We're the soonest available squadron," General Plo explains.
"We'll be behind you as soon as we can," General Kenobi adds, glancing at me, then back to General Plo. "I need to get going. Master Windu needs my assistance with some distressing information. Good luck." He leaves with a nod, and within a few short minutes, we're on our way. I take Boost's arm, despite the smooth ride, and try to remember if I've read about Cycis before. We land within the hour, and I let go of Boost's arm to put my helmet on.
